'Special treatment' may be essential. Every step is pure agony for some people. Some will suffer extreme pain if another person accidentally comes into contact with their elbows. The people who choose to sit on chairs include MY HUSBAND, who was told, by a priest and committee types he was talking rubbish when he said he had been told, by a consultant rheumatologist, that he must never, never, sit on any pew, bench or chair made of wood, that has the back at a right angle to the seat. He tried it, several times, and on every occasion, was unable to get out of bed unaided, for several days. He walks, he drives, so they said he was either a liar or had a vivid imagination, "demanding" special treatment. Those were the words used. Please, CARLO, eat your words when, at some future date, you like the 'special treatment' of having Communion brought to you, or have a couple of vertebrae the size of cricket balls. Your time will come. Many people who need to sit, segregated on chairs, away from the congregation, do not like sticking out like sore thumbs. They would dearly love to choose where to sit, and to be with the rest of the congregation. Their situation can be the cause of embarrassment and self conciousness. |
  Catholic and proud of it! Talk to God before Mass. Talk to each other afterwards | |
